So on Thursday in FSem, we went to an exhibit in the library about extinct birds called Hylaea: a video, print and book installation by Timothy Weaver. My favorite part of the installation was the projected video art synced with a mixture of bird calls of the species in the exhibit that still survive today. Pictured here is the sound dome from which the audio came and beyond it is the screen, currently projecting a beak. Being the digital art nerd that I am, I was fascinated by the blending of the habitats, feathers, beaks, and human cryptochromic proteins. The fact that Weaver chose to "weave" in (no pun intended) elements of humans is very interesting to me. It emphasizes the connection that all living things have, human or not. We're all living on this earth. We survive and thrive in different ways, but we have that shared experience nonetheless.
